website has the production list for A380 it also says 4th is malaysia airlines

this may be a silly question but why do airbus have so many themselves....are they demos or something

Test bodies.

From my understanding the first 6 or so of a type are manufactured for testing (both on the ground and in the air). Usually each airframe takes a different part of the systems critical to the airplane (loads, stressing of the airframe, hydraulic systems etc).

Etihad...are they supposed to be still taking a few of the test aircraft once configured. Around 2010 I believed was it not or are they destined for somebody else now?

ok makes sense thanks:)

Theres been a THAI A380 painted up and the shop for re-wire?

They were used in the certification process. Some of them have been sold to airlines, so will be fitted with passenger cabins to the airlines specs. Airbus will keep 2 or 3 of them I beleive.
